Thank you everyone! Your responses made everything a little clearer! :)

So, keep in mind that I'm a total moron.... These are my stats: Cals - 1,580 Carbs - 217 Fat - 9 Protein - 158 What would you suggest they should be - even generically speaking.

The same thing happened to me yesterday. I saw the photo and wanted to burst into tears :(

LOVE this!

Why is it so hard for people to believe that hard work and dedication can lead to weight loss like yours? As a society we all want a quick solution to loosing weight fast, but yet if someone looses as much weight as you have in what they consider a short amount of time then people get suspicious. It leads to uneducated…

I gave up caffeine. I had a headache for 4 days straight but since then it has absolutely been worth it. I sleep so much better now. I avoid Mexican restaurants these days. I love chicken chimichangas and I love queso. Both of which aren't exactly helpful in my healthier lifestyle!

I'm a fibro sufferer too. The biggest issue I face is that my muscles don't stretch as well as other people. I had a trainer a few years ago and he would have to stretch all my muscles before every session and the very next day they would be as bad as the day before. He said he'd never seen anything like it. I'm also…

I would love to see your spreadsheet. Some days I know that I would like the availablity to go over my calories if I could make up for it over the next few days. As long as there is a deficit at the end of the week I should loose weight.

I'm on my second Polar HRM and I love it :)

As a fellow migraine sufferer I completely sympathize. I cut out caffeine cold turkey three weeks ago. I had a headache for 4 days solid. But, I kept drinking water to help flush my system. Now the only non-alcoholic drink that passes my lips is water. I used to drink rum and diet coke when I went out with friends. Now, I…

Hmmmm. That would either be Mexican ( I LOVE queso!) or Bonefish Grill (Bang Bang Shrimp & Raspberry Martini's!!)

NEVERMIND!! lol I found the comments. That's a little scary! But, if I get a good workout in tomorrow morning I might be able to fit the Bang Bang in there. I love that dish so much. :bigsmile:

Thanks for the link. I'm not seeing any comments though - I'm probably not doing something right. She doesn't mention Bang Bang in the blog.

I'm on my second HRM (both Polar) and I LOVE mine. I find it to be very motivating when I'm in the gym and it gives you a more accurate reading of calories burned than guessing or going by the gym equipment. I promise that you won't regret your purchase!

.....half of the clothes in my closet :(

Add me too :)

Hi! My name is Caz and I live in Florida. I was born in and grew up in England and moved here 12 years ago so I have a good handle on the temptations on both sides of the pond! I'm 34 years old and single. Currently I am 242lbs. I started out at 245, lost 4lbs my first week and then gained 2 back!). I currently work out…

Writing an email, blog, status update etc as if you were texting.

Uggs with jean shorts. Make up your mind. Is it hot enough to wear shorts or cold enough to need Uggs? It can't be both and you look stupid.

The people who are taunting you sound like ***holes. Sorry but that's plain mean and so unnecessary. You've managed to loose weight before and you'll do it again. The difference this time is you know how crappy it feels to put it all back on again and you'll pay more attention in your maintenance phase. You can do it!! :)

I was born and raised in the UK and moved to the US so I guess I'm both :)

That is amazing! Congratulations!

Sending friend request :)

Oddly enough I ALWAYS chew gum when I work out!! :)

Happens in the UK all the time too - except the lanes are the other way around! I grew up in England and moved here 12 years ago. I think over here most of the problem is old people. Maybe I am biased because I live in Florida (aka God's Waiting Room). But I swear half of the accidents here are down to old people.

Wow. Just..... Wow!! Thanks for making me cry at 7:15am!! lol Amazing!

I'm originally from Marlow, Bucks but I live in Clearwater, Florida now :)

Here is one of my many workout lists on my iPod: Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm One Week - Barenaked Ladies Crazy In Love - Beyonce Let's Get It Started - Blacked Eyed Peas F**k You - Cee Lo Best of You - Foo Fighters Paris - Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Teeth - Lady Gaga Better Luck Next Time - Lifehouse Valerie - Mark…

TOTALLY a compliment! :smile:

I drank 14 glasses of water today! My trick? Room temperature water. I know a lot of people don't like it that way but I find it easier to drink more when it's room temperature. I really struggle with cold water.
